Assumes a fixed annual rate, equal monthly instalments and a reducing balance. Displayed amounts are rounded to the nearest rupee.

The basics

What is EMI?

EMI stands for equated monthly instalment. It is the amount paid every month to repay a loan over a chosen tenure. On a reducing-balance loan, the interest portion generally falls as the outstanding principal falls.

The same monthly payment can contain different proportions of principal and interest at different points in the schedule. The amortization breakdown above makes that change visible year by year and month by month.

This calculator is for estimates. Actual lender calculations may differ because of fees, taxes, insurance, rate changes and lender-specific rounding.

Reducing balance

How EMI is calculated

EMI = P × r × (1 + r)n ÷ ((1 + r)n − 1)

P is the principal, r is the monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100), and n is the number of monthly instalments. For a zero-interest loan, EMI is simply P ÷ n.

Worked example

₹10 lakh at 10% for 5 years

₹10,00,000 × 0.10 ÷ 12 × (1 + 0.10 ÷ 12)60

The estimated EMI is ₹21,247 per month. Total interest is approximately ₹2,74,823.

Interest rate

How interest rate affects EMI

For the same principal and tenure, a higher interest rate increases the monthly EMI and total interest. Comparing the total repayment—not only the EMI—shows the full cost difference.

Loan tenure

How tenure affects EMI

Extending the tenure generally lowers the monthly payment, but gives interest more time to accrue. A shorter tenure can cost less interest while requiring a higher monthly outflow.

Questions, answered

EMI calculator FAQs

What is EMI?

EMI, or equated monthly instalment, is the regular payment made towards a loan. Each payment usually contains both interest and a portion of the principal, so the balance reduces over time.

How is loan EMI calculated?

This calculator uses the reducing-balance EMI formula with the principal, monthly interest rate and number of monthly instalments. It then builds an amortization schedule by applying monthly interest to the opening balance.

Does a lower interest rate always reduce EMI?

For the same loan amount and tenure, a lower interest rate generally reduces both the monthly EMI and total interest. The exact change depends on the principal and repayment period.

Does a longer tenure reduce the EMI?

A longer tenure usually reduces the monthly EMI because repayment is spread across more instalments. It can increase the total interest paid over the life of the loan.

Are these EMI results exact lender quotations?

No. The results are estimates based on the values you enter and do not include lender-specific fees, insurance, taxes, rate changes, rounding policies or other repayment terms.
